- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- ½ cup Pepitas
- 1 cup cashew nuts
- 1 cup macadamia nuts
- 1 cup almonds
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener (rice malt syrup, coconut syrup, honey))
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- ¾ cup coconut flakes
- ⅓ cup goji berries
- 1/4 cup flaxseed or chia seeds
- Preheat the oven to 150°C.
- Gently heat the coconut oil and maple syrup together over a low heat., add cinnamon and mix well.
- Mix the nuts and seeds together in a bowl. Pour over the liquid ingredients and mix well.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer in a shallow sided tray lined with baking paper. Bake for around 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Add the coconut flakes, and bake for another 6 minutes or until golden.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool. Stir through the goji berries and flax/chia, then store in an airtight jar (in the fridge if the weather is warm).
- Keep an eye on this while cooking so that it doesn’t burn, as oven times can vary.
- Delicious sprinkled on a smoothie bowl or yoghurt/fruit, or as a snack on it’s own
